I would like to create multiple groups with the same speakers.

1: 2 pulse flex speakers playing stereo

2: Soundbar 2i en 2 pulse flex as a home cinema group

3: All speakers playing stereo

 

Could you please add this feature?

Grouping/ungrouping is no option.

 

Thank you!

  So what was the whole hype around BluOS 4.0 then? 4.0 was supposed to introduce a new framework which would allow for faster development and get rid of legacy things like this? Weird.

  HI @Tony
  
  Fixed groups are different - these are permanently intended groups such as Stereo Pairs or home Theatre Setups and not designed to be in multiple groups at once as they are acting as a single Player; https://support.bluos.net/hc/en-us/articles/360000220107. Once placed in these configurations, they are not designed to be flipped around and moved but designed to act as a single functional virtual unit.
  
  I understand the thinking behind this. 
  
  Although not designed to do this, it is possible. If the user can do it through the app, then that series of inputs can be replicated with a single button (you can see my previous comment and apple shortcut as proof of this).
  
  You can also see a short video of it working here
  
  I appreciate your recent detailed response, but would love more info on why the hardware or firmware can't do this?

  @David McTague, it looks like you've build a nice workaround to quickly switch between different groups! Could you maybe explain a bit more in detail how we can customize this, so it works for other setups as well? Thanks in advance
